Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, an Android
tablet, resembles the Apple’s iPad except for its operating system and that
it’s offered in three different sizes.

Spurbeck adds that Android
manufacturers add unique features lacking in Apple in order to make their
products stand out in
the market. For example, Barnes and Noble modified Android’s interface to be more user-friendly.

On the other hand, Spurbeck says that Apple
also copied some features of Android. For instance, Apple has a similar synchronization system
which Android use in order to be compatible with Google applications on the
web.

Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple
Inc., explained that there can never be a truly original creation because
people invent things by using the knowledge they gained from using existing
products.
